The Kassotis family (Greek: Κασώτης) meaning "one who hails from the
island of Kasos" is a Dodecanesian Phanariot noble house (Ottoman Greeks
usually with noble Byzantine heritage who owned large fiefdoms and
positions of power in the Ottoman Empire despite their non-muslim
status) of Venetian origin which has been involved in business and
politics since the early 19th century. Originally the founder of the
family Georgios Zizzis was a sailor from the island of Kasos who fought
in the Greek War of Independence under admiral Georgios Sachtouris.
Shortly after the Battles of Samos and Gerontas in 1824 and with his
family gone after the Kasos Massacre he decided to stay in Icaria and
married a local woman while Sachtouris's fleet was near the island for
resupplies.
According to historian
Ioannis Melas in 1864, the son of Georgios Zizzis who had adopted the
name Haji Theodoros Kassotis in honor of his father, was named Archon of
Icaria & Fourni as the primate of the local elder council during
the reign of Ottoman sultan Abdulaziz, representing the island's Rum
Millet (Roman Nation) and ruling as the island's semiautonomous lord
with full judicial and administrative powers. After the death of Haji
Theodoros his eldest son Georgios Kassotis inherited his position along
with his lands until the unification of Icaria with the Kingdom of
Greece in 1912.
Haji Theodoros and his two sons Georgios and Michael were all Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and were granted titles from the Eastern Orthodox Church such as that of Megas Oikonomos. After the Icarian union with Greece many members of the family moved to Athens and pursued careers in business and politics. A notable branch of the family originates from a great-grandson of Hajji Theodoros who changed his name to Kassiotis (Greek: Κασσιώτης). Georgios Kassiotis served as an officer of the Greek cavalry during World War II and later distinguished himself as a stockbroker and politician. The descendants of George Kassiotis include shipping magnates George and Athanasia Kassiotis as well as Athanasia's son Miltiadis Marinakis.
